Lucie Jenny MacCarthy Music Fund of the Collier Community Foundation - $2,000.00
Goal
Students have safe, sturdy choral risers on which to perform.
What will be done with my students
The 60+ student singers in our choirs at Gulf Coast High perform 6-8 concerts per year. For each concert, the students stand to perform on choral risers that are broken and semi-functional and have been here since the school opened (25 years ago). Each section of riser is unsteady and rocks back and forth; many sections no longer have wheels to move them from one location to the next; there are no back-railings and students have actually fallen off while performing on-stage.
Benefits to my students
A set (or partial set) of new choral risers would not only be much safer for our students to perform, but shiny, new equipment would give them the boost of confidence they need as we recover from the effect of COVID on our music programs. on regularly. Setting up for concerts will take half the time with new, easier to move risers, as well as eliminate finger and toe injuries we currently experience.
Budget Narrative
Each section of Riser costs $2300-2600, varying by vendor. The goal would be to request one section per year until 5 total sections are obtained for the Choral program.
